Melissa George moves holiday celebrations to St. Barts! Who says you can’t wear white after Labor day?!

December 26, 2011 By 2 Comments

To everyone who thinks you can’t rock white or ivory after Labor Day, actress Melissa George proves you are absolutely wrong! The former Alias and Down With Love star was photographed arriving at the local St. Barths airport on Monday, December 26th, 2011 in a medium length white dress with a brown leather belt cinching her waist.

Other stars currently vacationing in St. Barths include Jon Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea, Kimora Lee who was joined by hubby Djimon Hounsou, and Owen Wilson.

I love that Melissa is breaking the taboo by wearing this classic white dress on vacation since those of us in areas that welcomed the holiday season in 70-80 degree weather haven’t stopped wearing lighter shades. So if you are in a warmer area and feel comfortable rocking a pretty light colored dress this “winter,” check out some options below.

The Tibi ruched dress is about the same length as Melissa’s and could easily stand to have a belt added to really imitate her ensemble. It comes in at $416.50 but its a staple piece that you can wear all year long by adding accessories to change up the look.

Another option is the Alice + Olivia’s Cammie Trapeze Dress that would fit in perfectly in St. Barths or just about anywhere like Miami or Los Angeles. This piece also easily transitions into Spring/Summer and even Fall by adding a cardigan and other fun accessories. And at only $89 on sale right now, you can buy some really pretty pieces to add to this.

The dress I REALLY love is the Dian Von Furstenberg Juliette Dress (bottom left) available in sizes XXS-Large for $769.00 on sale. It’s definitely a splurge-worthy item but it will be worth it when you look like a Greek goddess!

Other affordable options include T By Alexander Wang Classic Boat Neck Dress with Pocket for $85 that would look great over a swimsuit or for a relaxing lunch with the girls. Also the Sunglow Mini Dress by Roxy comes in at $48 and can be used for just about any occasion.

Check out other options below:

We have yet to pop the champagne at midnight on New Years Eve but already we are getting some amazing previews of what is to come in 2012. Revlon has unveiled Emma Stone and Olivia Wilde in their debut campaigns showing off products in a wide array of colors sure to suit every beauty buff.

Stone, who starred in Crazy, Stupid, Love and Easy A, looks young and fresh in Revlon’s ColorBurst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait which claims “to give you baby soft, healthy glowing lips 94% of women felt lips were softer, smoother, and instantly hydrated.”

Wilde, known for her work on House and Cowboys and Aliens, was photographed wearing Revlon’s ColorStay 16 Hour Eyeshadow in a beautiful turquoise shade. With 64 shades ready to be unleashed in 2012, you can be sure the perfect palette for you will be out there!

Both ladies worked with celebrity make-up artist Gucci Westman for these campaigns who serves as Global Artistic Director and has even created two seasonal collections for the beauty giant.

Scandal: Amelia Vega and NBA star Al Horford marry over Christmas! (Details!)

December 26, 2011 By 20 Comments

Both were engaged to other people when they started a love affair but it didn’t keep them from walking down the aisle this weekend! The couple said “I Do” at the home of her uncle Juan Luis Guerra in their native Dominican Republic on December 24th. Guests were invited to a party but they reportedly had no idea they were attending a wedding!

So where does the whole scandal part begin? Vega was engaged to be married to long time beau Rollan Alzerreca while the Atlanta Hawks center was planning a wedding with fiance named Stefanie according to MediaTakeOut.com.

We aren’t sure how much Stefanie knew about the affair but we do know that Rollan, who helped fund Amelia’s music career, found emails between his beloved and her now new husband on her computer!! And just to make matters worse, it seems that it was Mr. Alzerreca himself who introduced Amelia to Al!!

Further rumors claim that Amelia is currently with child and that is the reason for the shot-gun wedding.

I’m not sure this is the best way to begin a marriage but the photos do imply the couple are very happy as man and wife.

Channing Tatum and Joe Manganiello strip for ‘Magic Mike’ (First Official Photo)

December 26, 2011 By 1 Comment

Christmas and Hanukkah might have left a pile of dirty dishes in the sink and stacks of ripped open wrapping paper all over the floor, but we think you deserve one more gift before officially saying good-bye to the holidays!

The first official photo from the HIGHLY anticipated Kevin Soderbergh film, Magic Mike has been released and it featured some of the hottest men in Hollywood! Joe Manganiello, Alex Pettyfer, newly engaged Matthew McConaughey, and Channing Tatum are shown on stage ready for a strip-off.

I hope the movie theaters plan to provide napkins and buckets to collect all the drool that will be produced by movie-goers once Magic Mike is released.

I am a bit disappointed that AccidentalSexiness.com favorite Matt Bomer is noticeably missing from the promotional still, but we hope they will make up for it in an upcoming image. (In other words, make sure he is wearing a tiny spandex bikini bottom please!)

I will be plenty excited to welcome 2012 and the count down until opening night on June 29th!

Steal My Look: Isla Fisher in purple skinny jeans

December 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Warm temperatures are allowing folks on the West Coast to avoid having to bulk up this winter. Case in point: Isla Fisher who was spotted showing off her colorful style while running errands in Los Angeles, California on Thursday, December 22nd, 2011.

The mommy-of-two wore a pretty pair of purple skinny jeans, off-the-shoulder t-shirt, and ballet flats. Wearing jeans in fun colors has been a fall trend that is easily transitioning into the winter season.

For those of you looking to score this look, I’ve found various options at different price points so that you can unleash your inner Isla Fisher no matter your budget. It’s also worth noting the shades of purple are also varied so you can choose which works best with your skin tone/wardrobe.

Do you like to colorful jeans or do you prefer more traditional shades?

Countdown to Christmas: Justin Bieber “Someday” Perfume

December 23, 2011 By 1 Comment

Make fun of me if you will but over the past couple of months I’ve changed my opinion on Justin Bieber. Who am I to dislike a guy because he has rabid followers who are willing to do crazy things for their idol?I had the chance to listen to his interview on The Elvis Duran Show via Y-100 here in Miami, and I soon realized what a great kid he is! No one was more shocked than I was (or my husband who ALSO admits to now being a Belieber!) so I was excited to check out his new fragrance, Someday.The signature scent was created with his female fans in mind and part of the proceeds from every purchase benefits two of his favorite charities; Make-A-Wish Foundation and Pencils of Promise.

“Not only am I able to create a fragrance for all my fans, but I am able to give back to charity, which is a huge priority for me,” Bieber told WWD in an interview before the launch. “The people at Give Back Brands really get me, and what I represent and care about.”

I sampled the fragrance and its juicy mandarin, pear and wild berry notes helped bring back the spring/summer into the winter. I can imagine myself wearing this scent right before stepping out into the cold and still being able to imagine the flowers that surrounded me just a few months ago.

Women’s Wear Daily even  Give Back Brands, who created the fragrance alongside Bieber, the “Beauty Biz Award” for Product of the Year in the Prestige Fragrance Category at the 2011 Beauty Biz Awards!

You can purchase Someday just in time for that special someone this Christmas at Macy’s, Sephora, and fine department stores nationwide.
